Coffee shop in the former Charmers Cafe, serving light breakfast and brunch fare and house-made charcuterie. BYO.
Formerly Gale Park, Willye B. White Park was renamed in 2008 for the Olympic track and field medalist. It boasts the Park District’s newest field house, which sparked controversy last summer when alderman Joe Moore’s proposal to let the Boys & Girls Club program it prompted protests from community members, who ultimately prevailed. The center includes facilities for floor hockey and indoor basketball and offers dance classes for all ages, summer day camp, and preschool programs.
This two-room garden-level shop specializes in arts and crafts, body-care products, and clothing, mostly from Kenya and west and central Africa. Alongside bags made of kente cloth and knit Rastafarian caps hang carved wood jewelry and dangling mobiles of human figures twisted from straw. The body products include several kinds of pure unrefined shea butter as well as black soap (made from the ashes of leaves, bark, and cocoa pods mixed with shea butter or palm oil, then cured), which is noted for its deep-cleansing properties.
A smaller park—just over six acres—with softball fields, tennis courts, two playgrounds, a community garden, and a small field house with early-childhood programming.
Just over a year old, Taste offers a little Euro-style epicurean indulgence in a neighborhood where Italian pancetta and sweet Irish butter are thin on the ground. Most of the wines are under $20, and there’s a small spirit collection, including grappa made in Michigan and Death’s Door Spirits, made from wheat grown on Wisconsin’s Washington Island. A booth lets customers dig into panini or the soup of the day on the spot, and the store holds free wine tastings every Monday and Friday from 6 to 7:30 PM.
Rogers Park coffee shop serving Ethiopian specialties in addition to breakfast, sandwiches, salads, and smoothies.
New restaurant in the former Cafe Suron space.
This old-school kosher meat market makes its famed hot dogs, garlic sausages, corned beef, pastrami, and chopped liver on-site. Breads from a kosher bakery, a few pantry items like mustard, crackers, and baked beans, and cuts like a bone-in rib eye are also available. You grab a little basket and invariably stand in line, waiting for the unsmiling, meticulous white-garbed counter workers to do their business, act lucky when they finally get to you, then pay a cashier at the end of the line, as G-d intended. Romanian Kosher also offers sandwiches, but diehards advise buying the fixin’s and making your own at home, all the better to stuff yourself.
Established in 1894 by the Rogers Park Women's Club, this branch has seen fires, moves, and at one point nearly its entire collection destroyed. It was redone into a bigger location in June of 1999, and has since gained a reading garden. They feature a monthly book club for adults, many reading events for kids, and the occasional workshops or classes.
Pet salon offering bathing and grooming for cats and dogs as well as lion cuts, nail trims, and ear cleaning for cats.
Open since the 1930s, this shop stocks bikes from Raleigh, Gary, and Fisher as well as accessories, and services all makes and models.
Pottawattomie Park, named for the Potawatomi Indians, features three baseball diamonds, a full-size football/soccer field, four basketball courts, and two tennis courts; the air-conditioned field house contains a fitness center and a racquetball court. It also offers multiple organized activities for kids, including an afterschool arts, crafts, and sports program, a museums program, and a summer camp.
